Auditor-level users can modify compliance records via improper authorization in GraphQL
Summary
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 18.2 before 18.11.7, 19.0 before 19.0.4, and 19.1 before 19.1.2 that under certain conditions could have allowed an authenticated user with auditor-level access to modify compliance violation records due to improper authorization on certain GraphQL operations. A flaw was found in GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE). This was possible due to improper authorization on certain GraphQL operations, allowing them to bypass intended access controls. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 2.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N). Weakness: CWE-639. Red Hat lists OpenShift Pipelines; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 as not affected.
